Byrne & Barnes —
Eye For An Eye ... LP Climax/Favorite (France), 1981. New Copy (reissue)...
$26.99
One of the smoothest sets to ever come from the Muscle Shoals scene – an early 80s gem that's as much an AOR charmer as it is a modern soul groover! Vocals are by Robert Byrne, with close help from Brandon Barnes – working here with hip production from Clayton Ivey and Terry Woodford, ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Take a trip through hell with the CA Quintet – an obscure late 60s combo from the Twin Cities – and one who've got more than enough psychedelic power to live up to the Cali promise of their name! The album's got a pretty amazing cover – nude models dancing in a satanic landscape ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
An obscure Toronto rock group, named after their lead singer – with an all-original lineup of tunes, and instrumentation that includes saxes and percussion alongside the usual guitar, bass, and drums. LP, Vinyl record album

John Cale —
Guts ... LP Island, 1977. Near Mint- ...
$13.99
The first solo album from John Cale – and a record that's about as different a statement as he could have made from his previous work in the Velvet Underground! There's an approach here in both the songwriting and instrumentation that's instantly Cale-like – sounds that have a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Hair – Aquarius ... LP Alshire, Late 60s. Very Good- ...
$0.99
Groovy album that has a number of vocal tracks from the Hair soundtrack, plus other late 60s groovy pop titles – all performed by the obscure California Poppy Pickers (who we seem to remember being someone else, but we're not sure.)

Not vocals, but a very cool instrumental set from guitarist Glen Campbell – done along the lines of some of his uncredited session work of the time! Includes drums from Hal Blaine and Earl Palmer, too! LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light surface wear, a small stain, and split bottom seam.)
One of the most essential Can albums, and perhaps their best – have drums ever sounded better on a record? Ege Bamyasi features some of Jaki Liebezeit's greatest beats, from the shorter songs like the amazing "Vitamin C", "I'm So Green", and "Spoon", to the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The historic album by Can – capping off their classic early 70s trilogy that includes Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi – and the last one with Damo Suzuki in the line up! While very similar to Ege Bamyasi, Future Days takes a step away from their more experimental sounds and has more of the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Moody genius from Can – and one of greatest albums of its time! Tons of spooky spare atmosphere, vocals that go from a lull to a cathartic echoey shriek, and that rollicking and propulsive backbeat that makes Can a band for the ages. Not just a landmark in what was to be dubbed Krautrock ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Think what you want about Freddy Cannon, "Palisades Park" is a heck of a great pop rocker from the 60s – served up here in an original full length album, with photos of Cannon in the park on the back – and other cool titles that include "Transistor Sister", "Teen ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A beautiful mixing of modes – Jim Capaldi's Traffic-bred, London-styled vocals, and the sweet southern soul grooves of Muscle Shoals – all wrapped together with a sound that's even tighter than Capaldi's debut album! Jim's a big edgier here overall – both in the way he delivers ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
An early 70s gem from Captain Beefheart – not as wild-eyed and wacked out as the late 60s glories, but still a good stretch weirder than most of the post psych, blues-steeped rock of the time! Ultimately, it's still Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band, despite it being billed solely to ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A reissue on heavy 180 gram vinyl of the Captain's magnum opus. This record set the high water mark that all crazy, wacked out rock must be measured by. A classic. Tracks include "Dachau Blues", "Hair Pie", "Moonlight On Vermont", "Sweet Sweet Bulbs", ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A slightly gentler album than the first Captain Beyond outing – but one that really has the group stretching out their wings wonderfully! The set's recorded both in Macon and Sausalito – and really has a vibe that indicates that mix – a core southern rock element, handled with ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Gently groovy pop by the Caravelles – a 60s pop duo: two gal singers, a hollow-body guitar, and some light rhythm backing. The style makes for dreamy pop tunes that float even more than work by acts like The Chordettes or the Paris Sisters – kind of like Les & Mary Paul, without ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the greatest live albums ever, and probably THE best album Johnny Cash ever recorded! In 1969 Cash had more angst than you could shake a stick at – he just kicked drugs, and he hadn't had a big hit in years, so his respectful and thoughtful empathy for the audience of inmates not only ...

Johnny returns to prison for another incredible set – a set might be an even more remarkable portrait of the Man In Black at his raucous best than the uber legendary Live At Folsom Prison! Like the Folsom gig, the set was captured by producer Bob Johnston, who also so masterfully recorded ... (Folk/Country, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Johnny Cash masterfully dips into the Hank Williams songbook – and what we get from it is and excellent Sun LP in which one of the greatest forlorn voices in honky tonk/proto rock/country music history pays perfect tribute to the originator!

Just Sold Out!
Proof that blues rock can be turned towards a useful end – and a landmark album from one of the greatest Brit groups of the post-beat era! CCS (Collective Consciousness Society) were more of a studio project than anything else – but their first few records sparkled with a groove and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Hard rocking late 60s work with a bit of a bluesy touch – a lot heavier sounding than you'd expect from the title! Some of the tunes are slow and plodding, led by a stepping electric bass – and a few others break out with a bit more horn flourishes that add a nice element. Titles ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Sweet acoustic swing from the Central Park Sheiks – a strange combo that mix together folk, country, and jazz influences in a gently swaying sound! The style is one that flourished strongly in the 70s, but which has roots that go back many years before – kind of a hip recasting of ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The group's named Cerebrum, but they definitely play from a lower part of the anatomy than the brain – given the fire, fuzz, and frenzy in their music! The album's short, but it's filled with such solidly played material, it really packs more of a punch than most full-length records of this ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Not the same Challengers who were burning up the Cali scene with surf instrumentals in the early part of the 60s – but instead a very cool Puerto Rican combo from the second half of the decade, with a heady sound that really lives up to their image on the cover! The group sing in English, ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A wonderful early project from Carole King – work that predates her well-known solo career of the 70s, and which is infinitely hipper overall!

Possibly Gene's finest hour, with OR without the Byrds.

Sure, the cover's a bit dated – but the politics have stayed surprisingly strong over the years – as has the music as well!
